The boss of the RAC Foundation says drivers in urban areas should consider which car is most appropriate.

'should think twice' - just too weak and feeble. Needs to be a pneumatic, circular rubber, vehicle to road interface deflation campaign whereby street urchins are paid to collect the valves and paid for a bucket of such - maybe they could compete for a DOTTY Deflator Of The Year award.

All freedoms being removed slowly gradually who voted for this stuff ??
The myopic woke that sleep with one eye open.
City dwellers should think twice about clogging up the footpaths, cafes and shops with multiple kids in buggies so everyone has to move around them. This also applies to the selfish morons who have 3 or more dogs, there's just no need!

You do care and very desperately about it along with all aspects of your ego and projected image. So tell me about your childhood..........
Dear me, what an obnoxious member of society you appear.
If that 'makes your day' you need to get a life, truly.
Now the UK is free of the EU it needs to tax the heavier, larger more polluting SUVs heavily, be that through a car purchase tax, VED or VAT - or indeed all three. Snag, majority of drivers are probably Tory voters and / or donors.
Makes me laugh how when in snow, despite 4 wheel-drive, most drivers haven't a clue and still get stuck!

So the campaign to force JLR to move to Slovakia completely continues
Castle Bromwich, which made 12,000 Spitfires and 300 Lancasters then, since the war, Jaguars and TR7s, has already ceased manufacturing for good
Honda’s Swindon plant has just been sold dirt cheap to a foreign property developer

Women only drive SUVs because they need something big in their lives...As opposed to somewhere else!

pants?
The roads around the Cobham Triangle are fearsome during school runs. Almost every car on the road at that time is a huge tank. Having a very low sports car myself, and having been hit three times by SUVs, I now avoid roads at that time. Driving a tank gives a woman confidence amongst all the other intimidating tanks that clog the roads.
I'll keep on driving my oversized 4x4 because I know it'll
a) annoy the climate change activists
b) go faster and longer than a toy car powered by 4 duracells
c) fit more non recyclable junk in it that I can't recycle on the way to landfill
d) force hippy vans to reverse on country roads
Last and not least.
I can think for myself and don't need to kiss Greta's feet for social media likes.

Dont worry new Land rovers are the least reliable cars on the road. But these dumb people will buy anything to show off at the school gate.
I think we need to muster a lot of counter peer-pressure to inoculate people from the glossy lure of the adverts. No it does not make you look cool or affluent, it makes you look like a selfish idiot with poor taste and a silly car
Just two things to throw in the mix.
1) Urban music glorifies the ownership of status symbols, especially the Mercedes G-Wagon. So why all the hate directed an urban Mums?
2) My family survived a serious accident due to driving a SUV(Volvo) the police explained I would have survived in normal car. I make no apology for driving another (have planted 350 trees on my farm to offset the carbon)

But how are these knuckleheads going to ponce about, showing how well to do they are then if they cant hog the roads driving their over sized slow moving roadblocks with utter disdain, disregarding the road rules? They'll only have their Audis, Mercs and BMWs!

They take up so much space, particularly when parking, Pollute much more and barely fit down some roads. Seriously what is the point of them in cities, and if your only response is “for my children” I’d say make the little porkies walk for a change, it’s not like they are far away from much in a city.
